6 Reasons 10 Cloverfield Lane Is Actually Better Than the Original Film

For the entire duration of the movie, I was at the edge of my seat. Within the first 10 minutes, I was blindsided by Michelle's car accident, and the tension never gives slack from there. Howard's unpredictability is a constant source of stress. Michelle makes her first escape attempt in the first 30 minutes. Even at the end of the film, Michelle still barely scrapes by through a handful of harrowing encounters that left me gasping for breath. None of it felt cheap — at least, not to me.
